This VW American Style Rear Windshield Seal is compatible with 1965-1970 Beetle Convertibles and 1971-1975 (through VIN 1552012217) Super Beetle Convertibles. These high quality seals have the groove to accept chrom molding. Our American Style window seals are made in the USA with a lifetime guarantee and are sure to fit your classic VW perfectly. Chrome trim is sold separately and can be found in related items below.

Our Expert's Take:

We spent years developing a better seal and have tested hundreds of different length seals to find a balance of an extruded (not molded) seal that fits the glass and doesn't curl up in the corners like so many other suppliers seals do. For this reason some people install our seals and think they are too big. If you simply start at one edge, and stretch the seal in place all the way around, you will end up with a very loose seal. Rubber stretches AND compresses. If you get to the last few inches of glass and have "extra" rubber, work and push the seal BACK on the glass, opposite of the direction you stretched it on. Concentrate on leaving the seal "loose" in the corners and compressed in the flat areas.

Cal Look versus American Look:

There is only one difference between “American Look” and “Cal Look” window seals. The groove to accept the chrome trim. American window seals have the groove. Cal look seals do not have the groove. It's the exact same rubber compound, fit, function, and quality is the same.

American Window Rubber

American window seals have a groove in the rubber to accept the aluminum window molding
Most Beetles that were exported from Germany to the US came with the aluminum trim in the window rubber
Thus, this style of rubber seal is referred to as "American"

Cal Look Window Rubber

Cal Look window seals do not have the groove to accept the aluminum trim
Called "Cal Look" which is short for "California Look" where the style originated in the 1960s
Removing all of the chrome trim from the vehicle including the window trim, body trim, bumpers, and more gives the car a completely different look
